Could a tiny scrotal procedure ease prostate troubles without surgery?
NCT ID NCT07745621
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a new device called Vivifi that aims to reduce symptoms of an enlarged prostate (BPH) by gently altering the blood supply to the prostate through a small scrotal procedure. The study involves 20 men aged 45–80 with moderate-to-severe urinary symptoms. Researchers will check how safe the procedure is and whether it improves urinary flow and symptoms over time, while also monitoring effects on ejaculatory function.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Vivifi device – a minimally invasive percutaneous ablation device that modifies the prostate's blood supply via a scrotal approach
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new, less invasive treatment option for men with enlarged prostate, potentially preserving sexual function while relieving urinary symptoms.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small study (20 men) focused on safety and feasibility, so results may not hold up in larger trials. Risks include procedure-related side effects and the possibility that symptom relief is modest or temporary.
